To the House of Refuge for Eleven Years

CINCINNATI, Feb. 2.-Freddie Jungener,
only ten years of age, received severe SEN
tencs from Judge Fitzgerald yesterday
morning A week ago last Sunday he at
tackled a companion, Willie Schmidt, and
stabbed him five times with pocketknife
before any one could interfere. The attack
was a most vicious one, and the little demon
was using every effort to kill, all on account
of wrangle over kite An appeal for
mercy was made by the attorneys on behalf
of the bloodthirsty boy, but Judge Fitzger-
aid was inexorable, expressing the opinion
that it would be a dangerous example were
light sentence imposed. Besides the lads
morals had been corrupted by vile literature,
wherein criminals were made heroes, and it
would be better to remove him from evil in
auences and temptations He was sentenced
to the house of refuge for eleven years.
